CCTV Released In Fife Armed Robber Hunt

CCTV of an armed bank robbery in Kirkcaldy has been released as police continue to look for the men responsible.

The footage shows two male suspects entering a branch of the TSB in Dunearn Drive on Friday 29th January before making off with a sum of money.

Both men fled the scene on bikes and were spotted a short time later on Cawdor Crescent.

The first male is described as white, in his late 20's or early 30's with dark stubble on his face. At the time of this incident, he was wearing a dark coloured baseball cap and dark coloured clothing.

The second man is described as white, 5ft 9ins tall, around 30-years-old, of medium build and with stubble.

He wore a dark coloured baseball cap, dark blue/grey hooded top and dark coloured trainers. He also wore dark blue jogging bottoms with a distinctive white coloured motif running partially down one leg.

It is believed at least one of the men is Eastern European.

Detective Inspector Colin Robson of Fife Division Crime Management who is leading this investigation said: "As a result of our enquiries we are now in a position to release this footage to the public and it's my hope that this will help identify the suspects or even jog memories for people who were in the area.

"I can reassure the local community that we're working tirelessly to track down these men and will exhaust all avenues of inquiry.

"While the answer to their identity remains unknown, it may lie in the local community and I would urge anyone who views this footage, which is being shared nationally, and who recognises them or their description to contact police immediately."

The latest statistics from admissions body Ucas, published as pupils south of the border received exam results on Thursday, outline that 16.5% of 18-year-old applicants from England accepted to university were from the poorest areas.
